Abstract

Spindle cell tumors (leiomyoma and leiomyosarcoma) have been described in immunocompromised children after transplantation and in association with HIV infection. Previous reports have de- scribed tumors of respiratory (lung, bronchi), gastrointestinal (stomach, bowel, liver), and subcutaneous origins. We report a case of leiomyosarcoma of the kidney in an HIV-infected child.
